Dr Matthew Russell discusses how patients feel after lifestyle cataract surgery

After lifestyle cataract surgery, most people are completely delighted because they are now free of glasses. 1

They’re able to do all their day-to-day activities without reading and distance glasses. And they only need to use some very low-level magnifiers when reading small print in dimly lit conditions. 2

I encourage you to speak to patients who’ve had it done. They’re the best people to ask about what it feels like to be free of glasses after cataract surgery.

If you’d like to know more about the services we offer to cataract patients in Brisbane, give us a call. If you’d like to see if we can help you, book a consultation.
